The Great American Play Series began as a series of 'performances on book' of classic American plays that some of our most respected actors have performed in because they believe as I do that they can reach across the generations when done with 'deep acting' - acting that The Actor's Studio became famous for. Some of the plays presented have been : After the Fall with Mark Rydell, Rebecca DeMornay, Lyle Kessler, Barry Primus, Sally Kirkland. Incident at Vichy (four outings) with F.Murray Abraham, Fritz Weaver, Richard Dreyfuss, Peter Weller, Larry Block, Fisher Stevens, Barry Primus,Lyle Kessler et al. Camino Real by Tennessee Williams with Betsy Von Furstenburg and Larry Block. A Bright Room Called Day by Tony Kushner w/ Judith Malina, Angelica Torn, Joan Macintyre and Henry Stramm. While the Series has morphed into an organization that also now produces full productions and video, it is committed to retaining the basic idea with which it began - just getting an idea for a play that needs to be seen and doing what it takes to get it up.
